How to Use the Record

Church records (registres paroissiaux) are excellent sources for accurate names, dates, and places of births, marriages, and deaths. Many people who lived in Canada were recorded in church records.

Church records were kept at the local parish of the church. A parish is a local congregation that may include many villages. Your ancestor may have lived in a village and belonged to a parish in a nearby larger town.

Be aware that some of these records may be in French.

Unable to Find Your Ancestor?

Search for nicknames and various spellings of the name

Search in the index for the name of your ancestor

Look for the father's name and the mother's name in the index

Sometimes church records were kept in the church and sometimes in the home of the minister. The records may still be at the church, with the present minister, at a local historical or genealogical society, or they may have been deposited in an archive of the denomination.

It may be necessary to look at the records of all the churches near your ancestor's home to locate your ancestor's church records.
